Cuba's Fidel Castro announces retirement - 19 Feb 08

When our puppet dictators don't comply, what do we do ? We kill them or try to. Let's see, how many assassination attempts has there been on Castro? At least 8, he has survived a counter-revolutionary attack, the missile crisis, the fall of the Soviets, embargos, that's amazing, Castro has succeeded in making a monkey out of virtually every US President. You got to hand it to Castro & Che for being the 2 bravest men of the 20 century, those guys were true rebels that lived dangerously.

US Imperialism is ruthless, hypocritical, & corrupt to the bone, worse than all Communist Regimes put together, we dictate to other nations how to run their show when we Americans don't have the perfect system, we try to destroy other countries both economically & politically that disagree with us. We install puppet dictators to do our bidding to protect our interests such as Chile, Argentina, Cuba (before Castro), Iraq, the US wants to run the world like Nazi Germany tried to do.

Saludos,acabaste con eso,ahora si hay que irse a trabajar pa comprar el pan y la mantequilla,y cuidado con la casa y el mortgage que se te acaba la fantasia y te quedas sin casa tambien,LOL.

I agree with alot of what you're saying but you're wrong about the whole "democratic" thing. Cuba has real genuine socialism, which is the highest form of democracy. People vote all the time in Cuba; in the school and factories and block committees. I have witnessed these things with my own eyes when I visited there.

I do the same thing with my responses. It's for the non-Cubans to hear the truth about Cuba and not the lies of the American corporate dictatorship which control 100% of the media as well. Lies like: Fidel being a dictator; no freedom in Cuba; people are starving; political prisoners and torture. Thank God for the internet.

Allow me to add to your defense of Castro, winggullseagull. When the soviets fell and no longer bankrolled the island, many in the Miamimafia thought that the fall of Cuba was near. These people thought that what happened in Granada in '82 would happen there; that there would be a debilitating revolt and the US military would swing in and cast the final blow. It's been 18 years and it still hasn't happened. Lets not forget that Cuba is 90 miles away from here. An invasion would have been easy.

@vrs195927 stop bashing on gringos what is your envy about gringos,if your latinoamericans indian countries don't go ahead in life is because the presidents you place in power are corrupt,crooked do not blame USA for your problems,you don't like it get back to your corrupt country.

Are you saying the US government is not corrupt? Those latin american indios didn't place those corrupt politicians in power, their respective ruling classes did- much as the US politicians do as well. And they are completely justified in blaming the US for their problems. They are the ones who cause the third world debt that forces the hispanic nation's ruling classes to bring about the poverty to the workers and farmers.

Listen to you ,telling me to get back to my corrupt country,the planet is nobody's i live wherever i please,the you killed most natives in your country,you pollute and destroy natural resources,you are not only the most corrupt country in the world ,but you kill your own presidents,you've done so much wrong in the planet that now you have to deal with terrorism,you stick your nose in every country's internal affairs and try to change their ways of life,now your healthcare system is a chaos,

@vrs195927 We stick our noses in every country's business because is our responsibility for us to do because USA is a world leader and we help whoever ask for help,thing that no other country do specially those in south america that all they do is set dictators in power and still their country's national treasures.OPEN YOUR EYES AND SEE THE TRUTH!
